Today I read the poem Tintern Abbey (Wordsworth) to the class. Then the class divided into groups to discuss Tintern Abbey. What was not finished in class (group time) is homework. Come in prepared to discuss the poem ... the answers you prepared and others that will follow. Reread the poem if you need.
Questions to consider for tonight...use textual evidence to support:
Find shifts in the poem (TONE)
Who is the narrator?
Who is the intended audience?
How and why are alliteration and assonance used in the poem?
Why are some words capitalized when they are NOT proper nouns?
Friday's quiz:
Study the Figurative Language document (we have used most of the words). There will be matching as well as a poem where you must apply what you know about the terms to the analysis of the poem.
I posted a POETRY TERMS document on the Poetry Page...those terms must be known for a quiz on Friday May 14th.
